Report: Netanyahu likely to visit Washington December 28-31
Nava Freiberg is The Times of Israel's deputy diplomatic correspondent.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to visit Washington to meet with US President Donald Trump on December 28-31, Army Radio reports, adding that the dates are not yet finalized.
The Prime Minister’s Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the planned dates for the premier’s visit.
Much of the US will be on vacation for the period between Christmas and New Year’s, and Congress will not be in session during that time.
The PMO announced yesterday that Trump invited Netanyahu to meet with him at the White House for what would be the latter’s fifth visit since Trump took office in January. The meeting is likely to focus on an emerging security deal between Israel and Syria as well as coordination on implementing Trump’s Gaza peace plan.
